If it makes Noel Gallagher feel any better, I have a suspicious Brian Wilson has no idea who he is.

Keep in mind it was *20 years ago* that Liam Gallagher challenged George Harrison, Paul McCartney, Mick Jagger, and Keith Richards to a simultaneous fight. As I remember one person telling me back then, I'm pretty sure Keith Richards alone could have ripped his head off and feasted on the organs inside.

I think several infamously "eccentric" rock stars have run into a wall when it comes to Brian Wilson. The stars that get off on being more eccentric than anyone else get frustrated when it comes to Brian, because Brian is more eccentric than all of them put together without even trying.

They were trolls even back in the 90s. Case in point: Paul McCartney, Mr. Thumbs Aloft himself, who rarely (at least publically in an interview) talks s**t about much of anyone, got so sick of the Oasis thing in the late 90s that even he was pretty blunt in eventually noting: "They're derivative and they think too much of themselves. They mean nothing to me."

That's the McCartney equivalent of telling some F-you and trashing their hotel room.

I always get the feeling Noel is at the windup when it comes to Brian. He's a big Beatles fan and a few of his own idols/mates Weller and John Squier love Brian.

Noel has been saying things like that for years. One of his staples is that the only reason the Beach Boys were popular was because they were beside the Beatles in the record stores. I think though that the Beach Boys, at least in the US were selling records before The Beatles. He has also said Brian has something like 7 great songs and Good Vibrations is brilliant.

I'll always have some sort of affection for the oasis music I grew up with.

What I've found odd is Noel criticising Brian for not "even" writing his own lyrics or words to that effect; my immediate response to that is did Noel "even" produce his own classic recordings?

I like Oasis and even Noel’s recent solo music, and still will continue to. But it’s funny that Noel criticizes Brian about lyrics - at least Brian recognized that lyrics weren’t his strongpoint. I can’t stand Noel’s/Oasis lyrics (but love their sound), just my opinion.

He is a plageurist pure and simple. He hasn't written an original melody in his whole career. He won't even realise he is doing it because he is a talentless little wankstain who should be boiled alive in his own excrement.
